Halsey Drops Trailer for IMAX Film If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power
The singer continues to give us everything we want and more.
If you thought Halsey couldn't top announcing her new albumIf I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art, think again! The "Without Me" singer just dropped the trailer for her accompanying IMAX film on Twitter, which is heading to theaters on August 3 and is exactly as gorgeous as you could hope for.
The trailer opens with text on the screen explaining, “This film is about the lifelong social labyrinth of sexuality and birth. The greatest horror stories never told were buried with the bodies of those who died in that labyrinth.” It’s a period piece that drips with gothic sensuality tinged with horror. In other words, it's essential viewing.
Halsey, who wrote the film, collaborated with director Colin Tilley on the project. The two previously worked on the music videos for “Without Me” and “You Should Be Sad” together.
The new album, Halsey explained in an Instagram post, is about the joys and horrors of pregnancy and childbirth. “My body has belonged to the world in many different ways the past few years, and this image is my means of reclaiming my autonomy and establishing my pride and strength as a life force for my human being,” she said.
The album was written by Halsey and produced by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross of Nine Inch Nails, and the film truly embodies the collaborators’ dark aesthetic. Watch the trailer here!
